My slightly 'psychedelic' tinged version of a great Beatles song. I'm hoping that John especially will approve of where I've taken this. I enjoyed playing and recording this.. I also enjoyed drawing the accompanying artwork.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A fabulous song from The Beatles ...Revolver... album It's a song that I played on my acoustic guitar in 1971 when I was learning to play ...many years ago!...50 years ago in fact. I must admit to liking the Revolver LP quite a lot...I would even say that Revolver is my favourite Beatles album...there, I've said it. :)
Lyrics
I'm Only Sleeping ... (Lennon/McCartney) ... The Beatles (Intro) Dream Sequence #1... Dreaming Of A Yellow Submarine / Waking When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy Running everywhere at such a speed 'til they find there's no need (there's no need) Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time Lying there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling backwards guitar solo etc... Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping. (Outro) ... Dream Sequence #2
